Re: MI embedded in RPG (ZMILIB/CRTRPGMI?)

Hi John,

I have the source for a CRTMIPGM command (with associated CLP and RPGLE programs) that has the following comment:

* CREATE MI PROGRAM
*
* Uses QPRCRTPG API to create a program from MI source.
* Source statements are loaded from the source member into array MI, then
* the API is called to create the program.
*
* The basis for this was a program written by Leif Svalgaard for the MI400-L
* mailing list at www.midrange.com on 11/08/1999.

Not exactly what you were looking for, but suggests to me that someone wrote something similar that pre-processes source containing RPG and MI and creates a *PGM object from it.

If you're interested, I can send you the source.

Hey folks, here's one you probably don't hear every day:

What are my options for compiling an RPG program that contains embedded MI code?

In my particular case, the RPG is RPG III or RPG/400, and it contains
what appear to be preprocessor directives #BEGIN and #END (the '#' is
in column 1), which delimit the MI code.

The comments at the top of the source indicate that ZMILIB must be in
the library list, and the program object created by the CRTRPGMI
command. As you may guess from the fact that I'm asking, these don't
exist anywhere on our current system, and I'm not having any luck
Googling these things.
